FishHawk’s Most Wanted Turkey will make its annual appearance at this year’s FishHawk Turkey Trot. He will be there to greet you and your family, as you participate in the festivities, which will take place Thanksgiving morning, November 28, at the Publix Plaza on 5668 Fishhawk Crossing Blvd. in Lithia. Come wobble with the turkey before you gobble the big meal.
The race will support the Seeds of Hope Food Bank, which provides food assistance for the community and is primarily funded by the annual Turkey Trot.
Seeds of Hope President Leda Eaton said, “I love that so many start their Thanksgiving with us at the turkey trot. It’s a great preThanksgiving activity that the whole family can come to and have fun. Everyone who registers gets a race T-shirt and, new this year, a race medal too. But with all of that…the heart of the race, is that all proceeds from the race are used by Seeds of Hope to feed those in need in our community. It’s the ultimate feel good race.”
The chip-timed 5K costs $30 ($35 on race day) and will begin at 8 a.m. The chip-timed 10K will also begin at 8 a.m. and costs $35 ($40 on race day).
